held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the "N"
(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary
with the service brake.
CAUTION
l Never hold the vehicle stationary on a hill

brake and/or service brakes.
Parking
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the selector lever to the "P"

If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry
the key.

If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick
up enough speed when starting on an uphill
slope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing
a safety device to activate. Immediately have
your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2
